It's been about 2.5 years since the first release of Fedora Core. And boy has it come long way! The new version of Fedora Core (FC) is featuring a number of goodies and performance enhancements as we describe below (and yes, it even includes a new logo).

I had a similiar problem. FC5 wanted to use 800x600, if I went into the screen resolution from preferences to change it, it would not display properly. It was like a mirror effect on the right side of the screen from the left. An edit to xorg.conf and adding "1200x800" to the screen resolution section fixed the issue and all looks clean and clear now
